On April 11, 1865, Pres. Lincoln gave his final speech on record. He praised Louisiana for ending slavery, urged Black voting rights, & called for seceded states to be restored to the Union—just days before he was assassinated. 131 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountdownToSRD

This case exposes serious systemic flaws in the family regulation system’s treatment of parents with disabilities and non-English speaking families. It's a clear example of how disability and language discrimination can unjustly tear families apart. We urge the court to swiftly right this wrong.

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

Gratifying to see justice in this long case. Fighting wage theft in civil law is a longtime priority of mine and winning MN’s first criminal conviction for wage theft is a big deal. Congratulations to Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty & her office for this important milestone.

Lawyers for Luigi Mangione asked a federal court on Friday to bar prosecutors from seeking the death penalty against him, arguing that Attorney General Pam Bondi’s recently announced decision to do so was “explicitly and unapologetically political.”

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

The GOP budget isn’t about the middle class. And it's not about the deficit—if it was they'd just direct money towards decreasing the deficit instead of giving it to billionaires. Their budget is about making the ultra-rich even wealthier. And using Social Security, Medicare & more to pay for it.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

Donald Trump knows that he owns these cowardly law firms. Here are a few recommendations: Paul Weiss can litigate to bring children back in the mines. Milbank can challenge clean air rules. Willkie Farr can lead on spoiling the water. Skadden is perfect to break the unions. Shameful all.

DOGE Oversight Subcommittee held a hearing on reducing federal property. All they said was “fire sale” this, “fire sale” that. Meanwhile, they’re lighting all of this s**t on fire — while their incompetent leader wastes millions of taxpayer dollars golfing, all while steering us towards a recession.

On Apr. 8, 1864, the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery passed the U.S. Senate with a 38-6 vote. Though the amendment would not pass the House of Reps. until January 1865, the Senate’s vote was a major step in banning slavery. 134 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountdowntoSRD

I have a confession to make. I have helped Greece rip off the US for years because I buy olive oil from the Peloponnese. I also prefer Parmesan Reggiano, so I contributed to the Italian theft of American money. Tariffs are the only way to stop this madnes

Trump just shut down the DOJ's unit that investigates crypto fraud. Remember: Trump and his inner circle stand to profit from their crypto investments and a proposed national crypto reserve — while taxpayers could be left holding the bag. It's a new Golden Age for corruption.
